Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 303: Two Birds Arrive at Chaos Residence
He knew very well that the Roc Demon King’s capabilities were far inferior to his own.
Even if the Roc Demon King had undergone arduous cultivation all these years or received hands-on teaching from the Kunpeng ancestor, it still wouldn’t justify such a terrifying improvement!
Moreover, those Magical Wings behind the Roc Demon King just now were definitely not simple.
"Your transformation just now, it simply couldn’t have been as you claimed!" the Great Roc said with utter certainty.
If it were, he would eat the Summit of Pole Mountain!
Upon hearing this, the Roc Demon King shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "I didn’t expect you to be so hard to fool. Indeed, I do not possess such ability. My transformation was thanks to another master."
The Great Roc completely ignored the Roc Demon King’s backhanded compliment. His focus was on the last part.
"A master? What kind of master?!" the Great Roc quickly inquired, sensing something fishy.
The Roc Demon King walked over to the Great Roc, sat down beside him, first laid out a soundproof spell, and then, lowering his voice, said mysteriously, "The reason I’m so powerful now is all thanks to Shopkeeper Chen!"
"Shopkeeper Chen?" The Great Roc wore a confused expression, completely at a loss as to what the Roc Demon King was talking about.
Shopkeeper? Wasn’t that a term used for business owners in the mundane world? What did it have to do with a master?
"I stayed for several days at the Chaos Residence opened by Shopkeeper Chen!" the Roc Demon King spoke again, but his words were somewhat vague.
If he said he had worked there doing menial labor, how embarrassing that would be!
After all, he was the Young Palace Master of the Demon Master Palace – he needed to save face.
"But what does that have to do with anything you’re talking about?!" the Great Roc said, thoroughly confused.
Speaking enigmatically, the Roc Demon King said, "What’s the rush? I haven’t finished talking!"
After that, the Roc Demon King paused for a moment, then continued to recount his experiences at Chaos Residence.
After listening, the Great Roc was dumbstruck and said nothing.
"Hey." the Roc Demon King nudged and demanded, "Say something, will you?! Otherwise, I’ve been talking for nothing!"
"In all the Three Realms, is there really such a wondrous place? Really...such an unrivaled individual?!" the Great Roc was profoundly shaken.
He couldn’t help it, not because he lacked composure, but because what the Roc Demon King had described was too incredulous!
Mountain of Mind and Heart, a restaurant?
Even a Saint whose presence demands respect, a cook with unmatched culinary skills, possessing the ability to awaken Divine Skills!!!
Looking doubtfully at the Roc Demon King, the Great Roc said, "Are you certain? You’re not just making up some story to fool me, are you?!"
The only one who could command the respect of a Saint was that person; how could it be some Shopkeeper Chen?
"Why would I lie to you?!" the Roc Demon King glared, a little angry.
"Then what’s all this talk about ’awakening Divine Skills’?"
"Do you take me for an ignoramus without common sense?" the Great Roc said somewhat exasperatedly, his questioning turning argumentative.
Hearing this, the Roc Demon King suddenly leapt up, indignant, "I’ve spoken nothing but the truth!"
"Just watch!"
With that, the Roc Demon King roared and concentrated, displaying his Divine Skills!
Whoosh!
Magical Feathers reappeared!
The Great Roc couldn’t remain seated either, quickly standing up and moving closer to observe closely.
He saw that the Mana-made feathers were extremely intricate, their movement of Mana visibly flowing through them.
Curious, the Great Roc reached out to touch them but felt as though he had touched nothing, his hand passing right through.
"What is this? It looks like just a decoration?" the Great Roc questioned skeptically.
"A decoration?" the Roc Demon King felt somewhat displeased: "This is Divine Skill!"
He had worked hard for a long time to obtain it!
Then he went through the explanation once again.
"Divine Skills that stack speed?" the Great Roc exclaimed, "Isn’t that a bit overpowered?"
"Can you really awaken just by eating?" Even though he had seen the actual thing, the Great Roc still found it hard to believe.
Since when did the awakening of Divine Skills become so simple that all you needed was a meal?
Seeing the Great Roc like this, the Roc Demon King also expressed understanding since such occurrences would be questioned by anyone who hadn’t personally experienced them.
Patting the Great Roc on the shoulder, the Roc Demon King gave a hearty laugh.
"Since you don’t believe it, I’ll take you to see for yourself."
He had already been at the Demon Master Palace for quite a while and had taken leave from Shopkeeper Chen, but having not eaten for so long, he was getting antsy. It was better to go back early.
Although he often quarreled with the Great Roc, their friendship was actually quite good, so there was no harm in bringing him along.
"Then let’s go quickly!" the Great Roc said excitedly, urging him on as he couldn’t wait to witness it himself.
"Alright!" said the Roc Demon King with a shrug. "But you’d better keep up, don’t get left so far behind that you lose sight of me."
"Piss off!"
"Reporting to the Demon Master, the Young Palace Master and the Great Roc have left the Demon Master Palace," a member of the Demon Clan reported inside the hall.
Kunpeng sat on the main seat, composed and serene.
"Mm, I am aware. Anything else?" Kunpeng asked nonchalantly.
"Just now, the Young Palace Master raced the Great Roc in speed."
As soon as these words were spoken, Kunpeng stood up abruptly, his gaze intently fixed on the Demon below, his voice somewhat urgent: "Tell me! Did he win or lose?"
The Demon was startled by Kunpeng’s serious demeanor and took a moment to organize his words before hurriedly saying, "The Young Palace Master won, it was a complete victory!"
Kunpeng didn’t say anything, but the joy in his eyes was evident. He waved his hand, sending the Demon away.
Kunpeng paced back and forth in front of his throne, his heart filled with satisfaction. This kid had finally made him proud!
Speed is the pride of the Roc!
Thinking of the Roc Demon King’s recent transformation, Kunpeng was also somewhat shocked, wondering where the kid had gone before to have such an astonishing change.
When he asked him, he got only vague answers. Since he departed in such a hurry this time, he must be returning to that place.
As the Demon Master, Kunpeng did not have much intention to interfere.
He just needed to know that wherever it was, it did no harm to the kid. After all, one must forge their own path.
"This is the place!" said the Roc Demon King, looking fondly at the lush Mountain of Mind and Heart before him.
"The Chaos Residence you mentioned is really opened up in this wilderness?" asked the Great Roc, filled with doubt. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Wasn’t it supposed to be a restaurant? A restaurant should be in a bustling location, right?
And wasn’t the Mountain of Mind and Heart a forsaken place of Buddhism?
"Just follow me and all will be clear," the Roc Demon King said without further explanation since they had already arrived.
With that, he descended from the clouds and entered the deep forest.
Seeing this, the Great Roc hastily followed.
The Roc Demon King knew this path by heart and soon led the Great Roc to the front of the Chaos Residence.
"What’s this?" Looking at the grand and elegant building in front of him, the Roc Demon King was confused. He hadn’t gone to the wrong place, had he? Where was the Chaos Residence?
The Great Roc was somewhat speechless: "You’re the one who brought me here and you don’t know?"
"Wait a minute?" Suddenly, the Roc Demon King saw the writing on the signboard.
Chaos Residence!
That’s right!
The Roc Demon King breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He had thought that Shopkeeper Chen had moved away. He hadn’t expected that it was only a change in decor.
Thank goodness, as long as it hadn’t closed down.
Otherwise, if it did, how would he manage the days to come?
"This is it, go inside," the Roc Demon King said.
